After learning how Flaubert guided Maupassant's writing for three times, the students understand that writing is not only based on the accumulation of reading and hard practice, but also on the careful selection of materials when writing. As Flaubert said, "It is not enough to observe carefully what you want to write, but also to find the 'characteristics' that others have not found and written..." Those "that others have not found and written", which requires us to have a pair of eyes, requiring us to learn to find at ordinary times, and use "eyes" to find people, things, things, and scenes in life, Catch a flash of beauty. Now students' compositions are poor and have no new ideas. It is precisely because they have not learned to discover, to use their "eyes" well, and not to observe with "eyes".
After teaching Maupassant, I also arranged an activity to ask students to observe their parents, classmates in class, people waiting at the station or cars on the road in rainy days, and write down their characteristics. Although students' exercises are "full of tricks", it can be seen that students have begun to have the ability to observe and discover.
I think that if we often ask students to do this, then the ability of students to capture and collect writing materials will be gradually improved, and the composition will be vivid.
